Nice pics.

Has your gearbox been rebuilt before? I know it's a weird question.

Bart! 02-04-2006 09:55 PM

Yeah it has, by Mazda because it was making a rattling noise. They did absolutely nothing to it, because it still makes that noise when going in reverse. The problem is caused by the way the release bearing for my performance clutch is made. It's all good though, can't really notice it much :)

Bart! 02-04-2006 09:56 PM

By the way, you noticed those new and unrusted bolts right?

CERAMICSEAL 02-05-2006 07:10 AM

Actually, I've seen a ton of these boxes and they normally have a very sloppy orange sealer visible between the cases from the manufacturer. A dear friend of mine was at a dealer who told him that his gearbox had been clearly opened before due to this exposed sealer (Refusing him warranty repairs). Due to my experience yours actually revealed the facts of it's history because it looked more normal and clean.

Nice pictures of... oil.

Jedi54 02-05-2006 01:56 PM

nice pics.

Why didn't you go with all Royal Purple fluids?
(just wondering)

Jackallll 02-05-2006 03:51 PM

oh...looks so nice without a front license plate. stupid Mass.

Bart! 02-05-2006 03:56 PM

I didn't use Royal Purple fluids for my drivetrain simply because of the fantastic reviews the Redline products recieved.

As far as the front plates go, I have mine on my dash board :)

Is your friend's shop a Citgo?

Bart! 02-06-2006 12:24 AM

Sort of.. the name of the shop is Cars Unlimited but its gas station is his as well. So yeah? lol

Big_Mike_4488 02-06-2006 12:29 AM

How's the shifting feeling after switchin to the Redline? Little smoother? Nice pics by the way.

Bart! 02-06-2006 12:31 AM

Mike, I can't possibly describe the difference... in all honosty, it is the best thing that has happened to my gearbox. It's extremely smooth, and much more quite.

I highly recommend you flush your fluids.

Big_Mike_4488 02-06-2006 01:04 AM

Great news. That has been the next investment I have been planning for the 8. I will sleep great tonight dreaming of the slick shifting in the near future!! :icon_tup:

Bart! 02-06-2006 01:11 AM

Where do you live? I could probably get you in a shop for cheap.

Brice-RX8 02-06-2006 07:44 AM

Did you replace the crush washers when you changed the fluids, if not I hope you don't develop a leak.
